The Lincolns in the White House: Four Years That… Tekijä: Jerrold M. Packard

This was a decent look at the family life of Abraham Lincoln during his tenure in the White House as America's sixteenth president. These four years absolutely changed the family. Illness, death, war, and a divided country. That's what this family faced as they took the reigns of America's government and moved into the White House. Packard's account is very interesting and well worth reading.

Kaiser Wilhelm II of World War One was her grandson on the mother's side ! Good inside information. Some parts get a little tedious.

If the opinion was based off of popular accounts, that's one thing, but it seemed more personal and intrusive than that.

He did do a good job of keeping the vast numbers of family members straight, and of maintaining a timeline over a lot of different courts and countries.… (lisätietoja)
